Due to “unexpected inventory challenges from Samsung”, Sprint will be a little slow in launching the Samsung Galaxy S4.  They are accepting phone and online orders starting this Saturday April 27th, and launching in retails stores when they have a stock of the devices.
This is the second carrier to announce that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be coming in a bit late. T-Mobile tweeted “However, due to an unexpected delay with inventory deliveries.” If Samsung is having issues fulfilling all of the pre-orders and the demand for the new flagship device with Sprint and T-Mobile, then we fully expect the same news to come out from AT&T and Verizon as well. Looks like you will have to wait a few more days to get your hands on the new device.
